97 disco will shift to drive position but won't go
Hi all, thanks in advanced for the advice. I've got disco 1 that's doesn't want to go once I shift it to drive. It will go in reverse but that's it. I'll shift it into D but doesn't seem to engage. What are some of the quick and easy things to do before breaking open the transfer case (I assume)? I guess fluid changes to the transfer case and/or transmission to start? Or does this sound something more mechanical or broken? So far no weird grinding or clanking noises. Will engaging the CDL do more harm than good? Thanks.

same here !
I'm currently an Automotive Tech. Student at a local CC , my instructors seem to think it is one of the forward drive gears inside the transmission have worn or gone out ....so it looks like both of us are facing a rebuild or a new/newer transmission.

Optimism in the face of defeat...... the ZF is a pretty tough transmission even when neglected. Used are not hard to source and inexpensive. Ashcroft Transmission offers rebuild kits as does fleabay. Couple of DIY rebuilds; DIY rebuild your 4HP24 thread

I've got the same problem on my 97 D1 , I've replaced the trans filter and put two bottles of Lucas stop slip ....but it's to no avail . I've checked all the linkages .....every thing seems good there .

I'll post my results and let you know. In the meantime, I'll start reading about transmission swaps.
